Warning: My buddy told me to stop bagging and boarding my new comics... and I'm glad I didn't listen.
He's a collector too, and he said it was a waste of money and time for modern books, that they'd be fine in a short box raw. This was about 8 months ago. Well, I just pulled out a stack I bought back then that I hadn't gotten around to yet, and the top book had a nasty color-breaking spine tick and a corner ding from just sliding against the others. If I'd listened to him, my copy of 'Nightwing' #105 would be in way worse shape. It's a lesson I had to learn the hard way, but now I'm extra careful. Has anyone else had a friend give you collecting advice that almost wrecked your stuff?

Shake my head at anyone who says bagging and boarding is a waste... that's how you end up with disasters like @ryanburns and his Dune book. Modern books can get wrecked just as easy as old ones sliding around in a box. Your buddy's advice would have cost you a nice copy. Some people just don't get how careful you gotta be.
